Volcano!

Today I went to my first volcano! I'm not sure what its name was, but inside had sunk, forming a crator in the middle. Is was filled with crystal clear rainwater. We took a small motor boat out and went around an island in the middle. At one point we could see little bubbles coming up from the bottom! It looked like something out of Jurassic Park. Next time I will take my camera with me because there is no use in having it if I don't use it. I didn't bring it this time because we went to the Otavalo Indian market after the volcano. It was a very large market, selling all sorts of stuff- alpaca scarves, jade, guitars, necklaces, jackets, rugs, blankets... there was so much to see.

The transportation sure sounds different- i am glad you are not shy about pushing people out of your way to get off the bus- MOVE- PUSH!!! I can see you doing that!! I love the orchid pictures and can't wait to see and hear more!!!! I LOVE YOU!!! mommers

Yeah -- pictures, send pictures. I know that you loved the orchid garden!! Take your camera everywhere and wear your backpack on the front. Losing a cell phone would be awful.
Must be nice to have a maid. Enjoy your experience.
